I am chair of an AI advisory group at my library (note: *advisory* - explicitly not advocacy, or I wouldn't have volunteered to chair) and I've discovered that people really do not want to talk about their personal use cases, even when I stressed I was looking for failures as well as successes.

Thread up and down, but this key point: it is extremely telling to me how people are embarassed and evasive about their slopAI use. I don't think I have ever, in my career, engaged in a research or writing practice that I was not willing to openly talk about. Why would I?

There's so much to say about this, but what is particularly striking is that the keynote speaker said absolutely nothing about using Claude to write his academic work until I intervened in the Q&A. It appears that he was not going to share this fairly important detail unless asked..
